THE reycrscs of the Italians near
Massowah in their recent encounter
with the Abyssinians and the uncertain
attitude of Parliament with respect TO
military operations in Egypt, have led
10 the resignation of the entire Italian
Cabinet. The present Ministers will
remain in office, however, until their
successors are appointed. The govern
mcnt will probably discntOnglo itself of
its foreign complications as soon as II
can do so creditably.

The salary Of the Superintendent of

A FEW HINTS ON TREE PLANTING.

A FEW HINTS ON TREE PLANTING.
What to Piant-varieties, ETC., Etc.
We are just beginning TO appreciate
the value and Importance Of tree plant
ing on our streets, lawns, avenues,
etc. They have commercial value.
One can hardly realize the commercial
value Of such an investment to our
property and home. Keen, sagscious
business men in our larger cities oper-
ate in the following manner: They
buy tract of land in The suburbs Of
the city, cut 1t up into liberal sized
building lots, drive stakes for q house
and Immediately plant the ground
with ornamental trees, shrubs and
hedges. They then employ good
man to take care Of them, and do not
offer the lots for sale for two or three
years, well knowing that the increase
in value of the property will well pay
them good interest on the Investment.
When purchaser goes TO look at the
properly, he finds that when his house
is built he has, instead Of naked
house on bare lot, u neat and beauti-
iul house, with its growing trees and
plants. which 1t would have taken
years to get around him. Many Of
our most active business men are also
men of taste and would be glad to i'm
prove and beautify their grounds, but
they are so occupied with business
that they have neither time nor dispo-
sition to find out what they want or to
lay out the grounds. Some compe.
tent man can generally be found to
aid in this matter.
